The banks of Suzhou Creek (Wusong River) formed modern Shanghai's belt of national industry, with former flour and textile factory sites stretching in succession, now converted into riverside walkways and an art district. Sihang Warehouse (built in 1935) is the original site where the 'Eight Hundred Heroes' made their stand during the 1937 Battle of Shanghai; the bullet-scarred wall preserved on its west face is a striking sight, and the War of Resistance Memorial Hall inside is open free of charge—the film 'The Eight Hundred' was based on this episode. M50 Creative Park on Moganshan Road was converted from old factory buildings such as the Xinhe Cotton Mill, and its gathering of galleries, studios and graffiti walls makes it one of China's earliest and best-known contemporary art districts.
Getting there: Metro Line 8/12, Qufu Road Station / Line 13, Jiangning Road Station
